UNDP warns energy costs drain developing nations' fiscal buffers
Original: Rising energy costs drain developing nations’ fiscal buffers, UNDP warns
The UN Development Programme is warning that rising energy costs are rapidly depleting the fiscal buffers of developing countries. With governments spending more on energy subsidies and imports, many have less room in their budgets for health, education and debt servicing. Officials and observers say the warning points to growing financial pressure on low- and middle-income economies as global energy prices remain volatile.
Why now: Sustained high global energy prices are squeezing developing countries' budgets, making the UNDP's warning timely and widely shared.
